Sun open source database platform announced
Workgroup’s dedicated Sun division, Horizon, has announced the immediate availability of MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade Edition 6.3, a version of Sun’s open source database platform for carrier grade telecommunications environments that aims to reduce the risk of site-level failures, simplified development and deployment of network subscriber databases.
"MySQL Cluster 6.3 Carrier Grade Edition is a real-time, shared-nothing clustered database system that has been especially designed to meet the high-availability, scalability and low latency requirements of telecom applications," says Bradley McCulloch, Sun product manager at Horizon.
"MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade Edition is already at the heart of Subscriber Data management systems for most NEPs, including Nokia, Siemens and Nortel."
Features of MySQL Cluster 6.3 are said to include:
* Integrated disk-based data support – Disk-based data capability aims to allow for storage of both highly transactional as well as persistent data in a single database management program.
* Geographical replications – The addition of asynchronous replication between MySQL Cluster databases is intended to provide the ability to geographically distribute application workload, increasing resiliency and removing the risk of site-level failure.
* Online schema management – Schema changes like adding columns to a table can now be made online, further reinforcing MySQL Cluster’s ’five nines’ (99.999%) availability in a real-time distributed database system, Sun says.
